A million, million, millions... as in:
1, 000,000, 000,000, 000,000 or 10^18
...from tri as in three.
It is lazily commonly missused for a million millions, which is in fact a billion, from bi as in two (...and not a thousand million).
You see, a tricycle does not have two wheels and a bicycle does not have one and a half wheels.
A trillion dollars is a million, million, millions of dollars and a billion dollars is a million, millions of dollars. A thousand million dollars is $1,000, 000,000.

'til is the correct abbreviation of until and not a 'Common misspelling of "till", as in "until".'
Till is the common misspelling of until, but is in fact a cash register or a preparation of soil in readiness for planting.
Until is a future time reference.
Now I will have to wait 'til you get yourselves a dictionary to learn how to correctly spell!

UNTIL by Repete456 December 23, 2009
If you're not going to write it properly and you're not going to get a dictionary and you're not going to bother learning how to spell and you're too lazy to care, then write it "YOU ARE"!
Your is not a contraction of you are, just as there or their is not a contraction of they are.
